Applications must be submitted by March 19\, 2021. Since 2010\, 195 girls have received more than $71\,000 in GO Grants!!.\n\n\n\nGO Grants (Girls Outreach Grants) range up to $500 for girls in grades 5 to 10 in the Char-Em ISD service area of Charlevoix\, Emmet and northern Antrim counties. These grants allow the applicant to pursue a special interest gain or improve a skill\, participate in an outdoor experience and more. We encourage applications that will be challenging to the applicant.\n\n\n\nThe ideal applicants are girls who have not received awards for outstanding achievements. CWIB is seeking girls who do not ordinarily apply for awards. We are looking for under-represented girls who need more support to realize their potential. Girls need to clearly state their financial need\, as well as describe a special interest that will spark their imagination\, creativity\, or follow a dream that they may not imagine possible. \n\n \n\nGirls will be required to work with an adult mentor a relative outside of the immediate family\, teacher\, youth pastor\, social worker\, etc. who will help them fill out and submit the application\, and will work with the girl to help her achieve her dream. The mentor will also work with each girl to submit a one to two-minute video about her completed activity and what it meant to her or the recipient will provide a written report. \n\n \n\nThe application may be found on the chamber website. Please email Lisa Hoyt at the Petoskey Chamber lisa@petoskeychamber.com with any questions. The funds are raised through a fundraising luncheon each year\, and also donations. We thank Keep It Real Social Media for supporting the Go Grants with a $500 donation this year. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
